List of Greek place names

Αlthough this list includes toponyms from Roman times, this list does not include later wholly Latin-derived names that have (nor had) no Greek linguistic involvement, involvement with the Greek world, nor significant Greek-speaking communities.

(A notable exception may be places such as Australia, which has one of the largest modern Greek-speaking communities outside Greece and Cyprus.)

As a historical linguistics article, this list is an academic lexicon for the history of Greek place names, and is not a formal dictionary nor gazetteer and should not be relied upon as such.

However, this community is gone or assimilated, and the common Modern Greek name is Μάλτα (Málta, from Maltese).

Distinctly Greek names are also largely retained for places without significant modern Greek populations that had a larger Greek-speaking presence until relatively recent times in history, including many areas in what are now Turkey, Egypt, Russia and Ukraine.
